ABOUT ME

Full-stack problem solver building backend systems, APIs & web apps for 20+ years

I started coding in my senior years of high school and never stopped. Software became my life-long passion and profession. I have worked with companies ranging from Microsoft and Ericsson to small startups and was a part of good many great projects, including real-time analytics collection for top-tier streaming content providers, handling distributed financial transactions and more.

I see software engineering as a form of applied art that requires constant problem solving and this is my favorite part about it. Let me help you solve your problem as well!

I also love sharing my experience and knowledge, both technical and the "soft skills". Mentoring is my passion and it allows me to learn a lot from the people I mentor. I am eagerly looking froward to learning from you!

Anthony Orvis

March 2020

I did not know enough about my problem to ask the right questions, but Alex was patient and knowledgeable enough to work with me on the problem from several angles until we came up with a workable solution. The main thing he helped with was SQL script writing. I would definitely recommend him as a mentor
